Happy Summer!

Boyfriend, Freya, & I took a ride out to the Rez for Father’s Day. When we got to his parent’s house Freya made a bee-line straight down to the lake.

This has been her new favorite thing since she discovered it about a month ago. She originally started going down there to get a drink when she was warm… until she slipped in one day. Ever since it’s been big, splashy fun. She usually only goes in until her tummy touches the water but she made a new discovery yesterday… she knew how to swim! Yet another thing that makes her a super cool dog is that she likes to stick her nose in water & blow bubbles. Okay. Not so cool when she does it in her water dish at home and gets the kitchen floor soaked but it’s still amusing to watch her. Anyway, she started fetching sticks that we’d toss in for her. One time I accidentally tossed in a waterlogged stick that sunk to the bottom. She dove under the water and got it! I have a dog that dives!! I heart her.

Later in the afternoon BF’s brother had to go out to the woods to fuel up some of the equipment so the 3 of us took a ride into the woods with him. It was a fun ride. It would have been perfect had I not accidentally sat on some fresh cut pine logs & got pitch all over my shorts. Oops. Since I was out & had my camera I decided to take a few pics.

Jeanne on 1974I like! If it were me, I'd go with the lighter blue for the inner border and maybe a brown for the outer border.

Kit-Kat on 1974Two borders around the blocks once they're all pieced together. Here's the quilt I'm making... https://www.anniescatalog.com/detail.html?prod_id=111224

Jeanne on 1974Nice! What do you need the two coordinating colors for? The quilt top? Once you get it put together, the decision on the backing color should be fairly easy.

Kit-Kat on O Christmas Tree, O Christmas TreeI've always loved reminiscing while I decorated my tree, but it's time to make new memories. As I was telling Rach last night, I've always had a hard time letting memories be just that. This year has been so freeing for me as I let go of things. My "very own tree" is just another step forward.. I'll be donating new ornaments that hold less sentimental value and preserving Mom's old ornaments. I'll bring them out again someday. In the meantime, I'm super excited about getting new ornaments! I have 2 trees planned so far. I can't wait for you to see them!
